Bacteriuria | |
Multiple rod-shaped bacteria shown between the larger white blood cells at urinary microscopy from a patient with urinary tract infection.
Classification and external resources | |
MedlinePlus | 000520 |
In medicine, bacteriuria denotes the presence of bacteria in urine (but not if the bacteria's presence is due to contamination from urine sample collection.)
Urine is normally a sterile bodily fluid when inside the bladder, but can pick up commensals and pathogens when exiting through the urethra. Bacteria in the urine, especially gram-negative rods, usually indicate a urinary tract infection (either cystitis or pyelonephritis), although bacteriuria can also occur in prostatitis. Escherichia coli is the most common bacterium isolated from urine samples.
Asymptomatic bacteriuria is bacteriuria without accompanying symptoms of a urinary tract infection (such as frequent urination, painful urination or fever). It is more common in women, in the elderly, in residents of long-term care facilities, and in patients with diabetes, bladder catheters and spinal cord injuries. Patients with a long-term Foley catheter uniformly show bacteriuria.
Group | Prevalence (in %) | |
Healthy premenopausal women | 1.0 to 5.0 | |
Pregnant women | 1.9 to 9.5 | |
Postmenopausal women (50 to 70 years of age) | 2.8 to 8.6 | |
Patients with diabetes mellitus | Women | 9.0 to 27.0 |
Men | 0.7 to 1.0 | |
Older community-dwelling patients | Women (older than 70 years) |
> 15.0 |
Men | 3.6 to 19.0 | |
Older long-term care residents | Women | 25.0 to 50.0 |
Men | 15.0 to 40.0 | |
Patients with spinal cord injury | Intermittent catheter | 23.0 to 89.0 |
Sphincterotomy and condom catheter |
57.0 | |
Patients undergoing hemodialysis | 28.0 | |
Patients with an indwelling urinary catheter |
Short-term | 9.0 to 23.0 |
Long-term | 100 |
Bacteria can be detected with a urine dipstick test for urinary nitrite or by urinary microscopy, although bacterial culture remains the most specific and formal test (the gold standard). Bacteriuria can be confirmed if a single bacterial species is isolated in a concentration greater than 100,000 colony forming units per millilitre of urine in clean-catch midstream urine specimens (one for men, two consecutive specimens with the same bacterium for women). For urine collected via bladder catheterisation, the threshold is 100 colony forming units of a single species per millilitre. The threshold is also 100 colony forming units of a single species per millilitre for women displaying UTI symptoms.[2]
The presence of simultaneous pyuria does not warrant treatment by itself.
- Screening for asymptomatic bacteriuria with urine culture and treatment with antibiotics is recommended during pregnancy, because it significantly reduces symptomatic urinary tract infections, low birth weight, and preterm delivery.[3][4]
- This has not been proven for older people or people with diabetes, bladder catheters or spinal cord injuries.[5][6]
- Kidney transplant recipients, children with vesicoureteral reflux or others with structural abnormalities of the urinary tract, people with infected kidney stones and those who are having urological procedures might be more likely to benefit from treatment with antibiotics for asymptomatic bacteriuria.[7]

Alexion Revises Upward 2014 Financial Guidance For Revenues And Non-GAAP EPS
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALXN) today announced that it is revising upward its previously provided 2014 financial guidance for net product sales and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS).
The Company will record increased revenue in 2014 related to an agreement that brings to conclusion discussions with the French government and which positively impacts prospective reimbursement of Soliris. The agreement also provides reimbursement for shipments of Soliris made prior to January 1, 2014. The agreement follows the 2012 French Transparency Commission designation, with the ASMR 2 rating, of the important medical benefit of Soliris treatment for patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), and includes reimbursement of Soliris for treatment of patients with both paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and aHUS.
In the first quarter of 2014, the Company will record approximately $88 million of additional net product sales related to reimbursement for product sales in prior years. As a result of this agreement, the Company has also revised upward its 2014 revenue and non-GAAP EPS guidance to reflect its current expectation for additional Soliris net product sales during the remainder of 2014.
The Company is now providing the following upwardly revised 2014 guidance, which includes net product sales related to years prior to 2014 to be recorded in Q1 2014, as well as expectations for subsequent increased revenue during the remainder of 2014:
- 2014 net product revenue guidance is being increased from the prior range of $2.000 to $2.020 billion to the higher range of $2.150 to $2.170 billion, which includes the $88 million in net product sales related to years prior to 2014 to be recorded in Q1 2014.
- 2014 non-GAAP EPS guidance is being increased from the prior range of $3.70 to $3.80 to the higher range of $4.37 to $4.47, which includes 37 cents attributable to net product sales related to years prior to 2014 to be recorded in Q1 2014.

BP has apparently stopped the flow of oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico for the first time since the massive spill began in April—but that doesn't mean all problems are solved.
"If you're like us, you're still trying to sort out whether it really is safe to eat Gulf seafood," Chicago Tribune food writer Monica Eng wrote on Thursday.
Indeed, a spate of stories has come out this week focused on authorities' efforts to evaluate the oil spill's effects on seafood and other marine life, and, whether you read one or the lot of them, the bottom line isn't exactly clear. Consider the following headlines:
• "NOAA: Gulf seafood tested so far is safe to eat," Associated Press, July 10
• "Scientists say Gulf spill altering food web," Associated Press, July 14
• "Oil Spill's Impact on Gulf Seafood Remains Uncertain," New York Times, July 13
Of those, the first seems to be the most apt description of the current state of affairs, and the media need to do more to highlight the fact that, so far, food safety protocols seem to be working. But that doesn't mean the situation won't change, and part of the tension evinced in the headlines is undoubtedly due to reporters' desire to avoid alarmism on one side and passivity on the other. Tom Colicchio—a renowned New York City chef and television personality—hit the nail on the head when, after returning from a trip to the Gulf sponsored by the Louisiana seafood industry, he told the Times:
"There are two stories to tell right now… On one hand, they are telling me there are plenty of fish. On the other hand, you don't want to make it seem like there's nothing wrong."
Striking the right balance in news coverage is a challenge, but incredibly important. Indeed, Gulf Coast fishermen have been complaining that the media have been doing more harm than good since early May. Those concerns have not abated. Fortunately, many news articles have been more nuanced than their contradictory headlines.
On July 1, the Biloxi Sun Herald reported that scientists at the University of Southern Mississippi and Tulane University had found droplets of oil in the larvae of blue crabs and fiddler crabs sampled from Louisiana to Pensacola, Florida, describing the discovery as "the first indication" that oil was entering the Gulf food chain. Within days of the spill's start, however, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began catching and testing seafood for oil, looking primarily for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the most common toxic component of crude. NOAA has told reporters from The New York Times, USA Today, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, and other outlets that the first line of defense is the no-fishing zone that currently covers roughly 35 percent of Gulf waters.
"The only contaminated fish sample to have been found so far came from an area closed to fishing, said Lisa Desfosse, director of the NOAA Fisheries Mississippi labs, who is coordinating the collection effort in the gulf," the Times reported on Tuesday.
Many articles (see a roundup by the Society of Environmental Journalists) have also homed in on NOAA's next line of defense—a group of seven "sniffers" at a federal lab in Pascagoula, Mississippi that have been trained to detect the smell of oil and other chemicals in seafood. If three of the seven catch a whiff of anything funny, a sample is considered tainted and the area where it was found is closed to fishing or prohibited from reopening. Seafood that passes the smell test, on the other hand, goes on for chemical analysis at a NOAA lab in Seattle.
The National Wildlife Federation has a useful Web site that explains how oil affects mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and ecosystems. The site also catalogues and number animals that have been found dead; the number found oiled, but alive; and the number cleaned and released. Oil is not the only concern, however.
"About 400 samples of commonly consumed species caught mostly in open waters - and some from closed areas - have been chemically tested and given a clean bill of health, according to [NOAA]," the Palm Beach Post in Florida reported on Tuesday. "However, no one is testing seafood to tell whether it has absorbed the toxic compounds found in the nearly 1.8 million gallons of dispersants BP has poured into the water to break up the oil."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

EAST ASIA -- A number of high level meetings will be held in East Asia
next week. In Thailand the ministers of ASEAN and the ASEAN Regional Forum
(ARF) will meet to discuss issues ranging from the international economic
crisis to regional security threats. The ASEAN ministers can be expected
to discuss the need for relaxing protectionist measures, but in reality no
member country is in a position to back away from national economic
protectionist strategies -- nevertheless it will be a debate worth
following. In the ARF meeting, matters of security will dominate the
talks, and ministers from around the world will likely address the
implications of the July 17 Jakarta bombings.
RUSSIA -- Russian President Dmitri Medvedev plans to hold the President's
Cup horse race July 18 in Moscow. Presidents from Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Moldova, South Ossetia and Abkhazia will attend
the event. On the sidelines, The presidents of Russia, Armenia, and
Azerbaijan will discuss the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh territory, although
there are no indications that the meetings will lead to a firm agreement,
as STRATFOR sources report that the players have not yet developed a draft
agreement. Instead, keep an eye out for Russia's next moves to consolidate
control on these states, especially after the Obama-Medvedev meeting. Also
Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Kazakh President Nursultan
Nazarbayev will hold bilateral meetings. STRATFOR is very interested in
what the two discuss, as there has been a distinct uptick in contacts
between the two leaders over the past several weeks. Kazakhstan still
holds the most sway in the region out of the Central Asian states and with
the United States expressing increased interest in the region, Astana must
be closely watched.
US/RUSSIA -- U.S. President Joseph Biden will travel to Ukraine and
Georgia next week. Though the visit has been planned for several months,
the decision to visit two of Russia's most critical neighbors is sure to
rile up reactions. The visit is the first high-level contact from the US
to these countries in the wake of the high profile meeting between Russian
President Dmitri Medvedev and U.S. President Barack Obama, which resulted
in a political stand-off -- and Ukraine and Georgia are the prime
locations for a confrontation. However, Russia has been laying groundwork
for boosting its own (already substantial) influence in the region for the
past few months in the hopes of blocking any U.S. moves. It will be
critical to see what else the United States has planned in a region where
Moscow appears to have the upper hand.
IRAN -- It is time to fully reconsider all aspects of the American-Iranian
relationship. In the past we've dismissed talk of a U.S. strike on Iran as
rhetoric designed to shape bilateral talks on the future of Iraq. But
there are a lot of (rapidly) moving parts that may be changing the
American calculus.
1. It all started with the aftermath of the June elections. On one side
we have Rafsanjani pushing to loosen the power of the Supreme Leader
and ADogg, on the other is ADogg who wants to loosen the power of the
ayatollahs (most notably Rafsanjani). We need to reevaluate the
positions of the two factions vis-`a-vis the Americans. We have long
positioned that any differences between the two on this question was
atmospheres or lost in the complexity of internal politics. Let's
2. Israel moved a number of naval assets into the Red Sea this week for
exercises. While most have have since been moved back to the
Meditteranean, the Israelis do not shuttle such forces lightly. It
costs them favors with the Egyptians to move their navy thru the canal
and Egypt in turn will not allow it without a greenlight from
Washington. We need to revisit the mechanics -- not the politics -- of
an independent Israeli strike.
3. Obama policy of engaging has not worked, largely because of the June
election protests in Iran have turned the Democratic Party's consensus
on letting the new president try a new strategy into a hardline
against Iran's `nondemocratic' forces. This is triggering a
re-evaluation of American strategy vis-`a-vis Iran. We need to find
out what wheels are turning within the Democratic Party and how/if it
intersects with Defense Department planning.
4. There have been changes of heart (and personnel) in Europe in recent
years, making for a constellation of forces that is much firmer on
Iran. For example, French President Nicholas Sarkozy has backed a
deadline to Iran for restarting talks over Iran's nuclear programs --
a rather un-Frenchlike policy stance. What is going on within the
French foreign policy apparatus?
5. Obama and Putin did not have a meeting of the minds on several topics
in their recent summit, and it became clear not only that Iran was a
key point of disagreement, but that Iran was emerging as Russia's best
tool to use against American interests. How willing are the Russians
to play the Iran card? Are they willing/able to transfer to Iran any
real military and/or nuclear hardware? How do they view the factions
struggling within Iran?
6. Finally, Rafsanjani is the cleric who owned the bulk of the
Iranian-Russian relationship. When at the height of the election snafu
ADogg was able to go to Russia and get a photo-op with the leadership,
Rafsanjani felt betrayed. That in part contributed to the "Death to
Russia" chants we heard in Tehran at Friday prayers today. Did ADogg
(or someone in his faction) just some deals from the Russians that
Rafsanjani would expect to normally flow through him? Do the Russians
want to -- for have they already -- switch handlers? How do the
various Iranian factions view the Russians?
7. U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates of the United States and U.S.
special envoy to the Middle East Mitchell are expected to make a trip
to Israel July 27 for "secret" talks with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Although
we do not yet know in what way these talks -- or the fact that
"secret" talks have been not-so-secretly published -- are significant,
but we intend to find out.

Well, Transformers Prime started its second season today and its a strong start, I felt. Although that fakeout when Arcee almost ran into Optimus was annoying, but with all the suspense I wasn't surprised when they didn't meet. Honestly, with the amnesiac leader, I was expecting Megatron to convince Orion Pax to take a crash course in fighting and then send him at the Autobots and laugh at the angst. This way is much better, and more plausible that Orion Pax doesn't notice more wrong yet. Just keep him in a room decoding important information. Kind of funny to hear the Key to Vector Sigma is locked to Jack (sure, Ratchet said biosignature or something... but not like they had much biological life on Cybertron), but looking forward to seeing Cybertron (although hearing Ratchet called doctor of doom was funny), wonder how many zombies are left on there. And they played the original animated Transformer the Movie after the new episode, ah, that was nostalgic. Certainly better news than hearing about Transformer 4 (new characters I think, not sure if its a reboot or continuation and don't really care as its the same director, so I'm probably going to skip that one, still regret wasting money watching the third one). And Fall of Cybertron continues to look awesome. Can't wait for that one.
Well, the latest update says Bay intends to focus and develop the robot characters more in the next, but... I'll believe it when i see it. Would have been nice for him to have that revelation BEFORE he killed off the two characters with the most depth of character development material. And, yeah, Prime's return here with the Pax arc has been surprisingly excellent. The series is really touching on all the great ideas and points of previous mythology and series. Here, we even get a brief "land of the giants" with the trip to Cybertron (though it was too brief for my tastes). Everything with Vector Sigma was great (though with the huge dynamo/gyro and the chanting music, I couldn't help but think "Metroid Prime 2") and such. I think that chamber is similar to the well of sparks in TWW: The Dark Ages as well.. However, I think the resolution was not as satisfying- everything about both the Unicron arc and the Pax arc seemed to be heading towards something definitive (especially since it basically starts with Prime declaring Megatron must be destroyed- yet here the Autobots completely outnumber Megatron and they still retreat), so the "back to status quo" open ending left something to be desired. Still, fantastic work for the series. Nice to see them even work in those creepy Burton-esque mites again as well, not to mention an Insecticon.
So, Prime returned a couple weeks ago and, so, far, it's carrying the momentum of the last season forward quite well. Dug the Miko/Wheeljack revenge episode and loved the flashbacks of the Cliffjumper and Smokescreen episodes. A little odd that they recast Cliffjumper's voice, though- but this is balanced out by Nolan North (aka Deadpool) voicing Smokescreen (as an aside- bringing him into the show seems like a little random of a choice as he's a bit obscure as far as supporting characters go, but I guess that works for the character). In general, really appreciating the elevated writing the series has developed. Even the brief bookends between Arcee and Miko during the flashback episode are very well done and contain more emotion/characterization in a couple minutes than Bay managed to achieve in over 7 hours. Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler I'm guessing the fate of Alpha Trion will be something they'll be building to, especially with the ongoing Archives/Orion Pax/Database throughline. Also: Shockwave! They got his logic-centric personality down very well (even down to his actions/priorities during battle) and his design is pretty good (not sure if I like the ammo-chain-wire holdover from the movie design but I can live with it) and I dig the unique sound to his arm cannon as well. Not crazy about the voice, though- it's serviceable, but it's lacking the David Warner qualities of Burton's G1/TFA performances. I've heard that Corey has retired that voice or something to that effect, so I imagine that was a significant contributing factor to the voice here, though even his John Hurt-like TFA Megatron would have had enough qualities to work well here as well. My prediction at this point is that the APEX armor will be used to get Bulkhead back into action. I also can't help but think somethings going to go down between Megatron and Miko, between what she did to Hardshell (and Megatron's reaction to being informed that it was a human girl that did it) and her "NEVER!!!" threat against him last season.
Hugo Weaving when asked if Bay contacted him about another Transformer's movie: No. That's a weird job for me because it honestly was a two-hour voice job, initially. I was doing a play and I actually didn't have time, anyway. It was one of the only things I've ever done where I had no knowledge of it, I didn't care about it, I didn't think about it. They wanted me to do it. In one way, I regret that bit. I don't regret doing it, but I very rarely do something if it's meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly. I don't mean that in any nasty way. I did it. It was a two-hour voice job, while I was doing other things. Of course, it's a massive film that's made masses of money. I just happened to be the voice of one of the iconic villainous characters. But, my link to that and to Michael Bay is so minimal. I have never met him. I was never on set. I've seen his face on Skype. I know nothing about him, really. I just went in and did it. I never read the script. I just have my lines, and I don't know what they mean. That sounds absolutely pathetic! I've never done anything like that, in my life. It's hard to say any more about it than that, really. And Bay's response: Do you ever get sick of actors that make $15 million a picture, or even $200,000 for voiceover work that took a brisk one hour and 43 minutes to complete, and then complain about their jobs? With all the problems facing our world today, do these grumbling thespians really think people reading the news actually care about trivial complaints that their job wasn't 'artistic enough" or "fulfilling enough"? I guess The Hollywood Reporter thinks so. What happened to people who had integrity, who did a job, got paid for their hard work, and just smiled afterward? Be happy you even have a job – let alone a job that pays you more than 98% of the people in America. I have a wonderful idea for all those whiners: They can give their "unhappy job money" to a wonderful Elephant Rescue. It's the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Africa. I will match the funds they donate. wtf.
Honestly? I'm on Bay's side in this. While Weaving wasn't really whining, it its a bit insulting (in my view at least) for him to say that he didn't care about the role when he took it. I realize actors will take roles that are meaningless to them/don't care about; but to for Weaving to say his work on Transformers was a 'meaningless job,' especially, as he admits an iconic villain like Megatron, does actually offend me, a bit, as a fan, of maybe not necessarily the films, but the franchise as a whole and the characters. And makes me beyond grateful that they got Peter Cullen to voice Prime for the films instead of recasting Prime's voice.
I think people are accentuating Hugo's comment. He's basically saying he didn't have any connection to the franchise or the character when he took the job and that it was a quick job. No harm in that. Voice actors do ton of roles they don't have a particular affinity for or just forget about afterwards. EDIT- Just watched the latest episode of Prime. I should be disappointed that it was a clipshow, yet the fact that it was a clipshow centered entirely on the Megatron/Starscream dynamic automatically makes it awesome. Plus is did manage to move some character arcs forward. Megatron (to Starscream): "A word of advice: Stop thinking aloud."
Its been a while since I watched season 1 (maybe I'll go check it out on Netflix), but I just loved the part where Starscream was... dancing? The part with the "All Hail Starscream" chanting. Another clipshow, but at least this one was pretty entertaining. Although it also reminded me just how... pathetic this Starscream has been. Ambitious/treacherous Starscream is one of those multiversal constants, and he has somewhat played the part of comic relief (as so many flashbacks showed), but whereas Animated Starscream was silly too, at least he had his immortality and Allspark fragment and clones to fall back on. Here? Not so much. While I like the references, I just hate these treasure hunts as they always end badly for the good guys. Or even more cliche, it looks like the heroes are winning and then things get worse. The Cybertron anime series was like this (Starscream stealing most of the keys is probably a reference to that series), and here, Optimus Prime gets to be awesome with the Star Saber for about two minutes and then... its shattered the very next episode. Not too sure on the Transformer movie comments. Felt like Hugo Weaving just never connected with the character much, but he still did a decent job, I think. Not as iconic as if it were Peter Cullen and Frank Welker doing both roles again (one of the reasons Prime is so good), but meh, best not to get too involved into any of the movie controversies. Anyway, considering how bad the portrayal of Megatron was in those movies (the first one was ok, but by the third one, ugh), not like there was much to connect with. And this isn't the video game forum, but anyone else here play Fall of Cybertron? I think I like War a bit more, but Fall was still a Transformer fan's dream. Hope that isn't quite the end of those High Moon sort of G1 universe, but if so, at least those can stand as excellent Transformer games. Hm, maybe I should go dig up the thread in the game forum, although forget if it was brought up on the temp boards.
I hope to play War/Fall sometime in the next year. Until then I can just drool over the trailers. I don't think the dancing during All Hail Starscream was in the original episodes- that was added for comic relief here. I didn't quite like that, unless one takes the justification that it's presenting Starscream's state of mind and how he perceived things in that moment, as opposed to a literal documentation of his actions (whereas everything else he "saw" of anyone but himself would still be accurate). This Starscream..I wouldn't say he's pathetic. He's been ruthless and had some good plans- but even in G1 he groveled at Megatron's feet on a few occasions (until he was immortal). But he does seem to have run out of options and simply has no other course for survival.
Its just that this Starscream has acted as comic relief which stands out a bit more starkly against the rest of the atmosphere of this show. The G1 cartoon was pretty silly, and some moments were funny (like Megatron immediately strangling Starscream in that Triple Takeover episode as obviously Starscream was involved in the coup attempt somehow), so Starscream groveling fit in... yet it still felt in character when a really gloating Starscream tossed Megatron out the airlock. Here, he's caused trouble, but he's groveled, begged, and etc., but he's been on a bit of a downward spiral- trying to go rogue, but then his transformation cog is stolen (did he ever get around to transplanting his clone's cog in yet?), he tries to plot with Airachnid and she just ignores him, and he gets the Apex Armor but then that's stolen from him too (although he got Red Energon out of it at least). Yeah, I figured the dancing wasn't in the original- it was just too funny for me to not laugh at. Stupid though, and the flashbacks were inconsistent. Obviously as a flashback episode these are mostly just clips of external moments, leading to Megatron's mocking line about not thinking out loud so often, but the dancing stood out since back then Starscream wasn't quite that blatantly treacherous. And I think Megatron already knew about Starscream removing the dark energon shard from his body after that space bridge explosion anyway. At least the conclusion felt quite in-character, a sign of the excellent writing. It probably is better to have Starscream back in the fold rather than running rogue and causing trouble and he's suffered mostly enough humiliations (and if not Megatron can always just blast him again). Now Dreadwing is another problem- just not sure who he'll be mad at the most- he's blamed Optimus Prime (since Prime did mostly kill Skyquake along with Bumblebee) but finding out what Starscream did with the corpse is pretty enraging too.
Honestly I think G1 cartoon Megatron only keeps Starscream around for exercise. With Starscream always waiting for a chance to take over Megatron constantly has to be at his best and never show weakness. If Starscream does try something Megatron knows it'll never work and beating up Starscream allows him to intimidate his other troops. That's the only reason I can see as to why he kept him around. Armada Starscream was essentially 30% Starscream + 70% BW Dinobot. Prime Starscream started out as the most competent Starscream we've seen but now has turned into more and more of a failure.
If Weaving doesn't want to do more voice work for Megatron or hasn't been asked, does this mean we might finally see Galvatron? Bay's Megatron is pretty pointless now anyway, he's died in 2 or the 3 movies and got wrecked badly in the other one. His credibility is pretty shabby now so a rebirth would work better.
There was a slight level of Sith apprenticeship between Megatron and Starscream, at least initially. Megatron wanted Starscream to be worthy of what Starscream aspired to, but always fell short. Despite the wisdom Megatron occasionally gave him, there was still that undercurrent of "I want you to try to take me down, but I also want you to know/think you'll fail.".
Another great episode today, nice to see references to so many things over the course of the series. Though, ugh, the kids had to end up as hostages, but at least they didn't go running into danger like other times. Though honestly in theory any human could act as a hostage as the Autobots are supposed to be the good guys, just that in case Optimus doesn't give in, his team might rebel at that point. And Starscream even came up with a good idea too for once. In hindsight Ratchet or someone (like that lazy Wheeljack unless he shows up later) should have picked them up, but then any human would suffice as a hostage really. I wonder how much Optimus Prime knows and isn't telling, but cool to see the whole team using all the artifacts they had at once. Well, there goes Dreadwing, at least his character arc is over with, and cool to see Optimus putting that Forge to such good use, no wonder the plot couldn't let him have it earlier, its really handy.
Well, that was a pretty epic season finale. Loved Ratchet's reaction to Optimus's actions- I really hope they play up that conflict in the next season. And, well, the bad guys getting their day is just all kinds of awesome (plus: we get Welker delivering the "Transform and rise up!" command; really glad they haven't forgotten that little tidbit of excellence that Animated contributed to the mythos). I do hope we get at least a little military action against the Cons at the start of next season: if Fowler can last that long ina copter, there's no reason some jets couldn't tango, even if they ultimately lose. And you can't have them ignore/cover-up the presence of New Kaon.
Honestly I liked the first season finale better. This one was probably more epic though. Sure last time they were fighting Unicron but that was mostly a case of just getting Optimus close enough to open the Matrix. Here Optimus sacrificed Cybertron for earth... but glad that he stuck to his principles. If Ratchet had picked up the kids they could have avoided some of this, but really any human would do as hostages. And the rest of Team Prime understands mostly what Optimus did. Optimus doing it in a badass manner helps too. And Starscream is doing really well as Megatron's follower again, whereas before he was blundering about on his own, he's actually quite menacing. And he gets his own Vehicon troops. Nice to see Wheeljack pitch in, although with the Star Saber still not quite sure why Optimus doesn't just shoot the Nemesis out of the sky. Or use the Forge of Solus Prime to make more awesome weapons for his team (unless a Prime is required for all such weapons, and at least Optimus cut off that stolen arm). Interested to see where things go next with the Decepticons basically out in the open now. A human military response (though doomed to fail) would be nice to see, but despite being somewhat of a stretch, Fowler is probably still my favorite human in a Transformers story for being a competent and pretty friendly ally and able to hold his own in battle. Its been a great second season, looking forward to whatever comes next. Also pleasantly surprised that Smokescreen turned out so well- at first thought he was just the young, bratty Transformer common to many series, but he's pretty respectful. Ratchet probably still remains the grumpiest of the lot, not having a human to bond with, so he's the least understanding about Optimus choosing to destroy the Omega Lock rather than let earth be wrecked. Great character writing and animation (this is what a Transformer fight scene should look like, not a bunch of blurry metal silver things clashing), Prime is doing great, just wish there wasn't such a (probably) long wait until the next season.
why are they making these? why are transformers important? the only relevant transformer in my view was unicron, because he was a planet that ate other planets and that is amazing.
Normally I'd say the validity of this next one will depend on what characters they use (since they're supposedly doing with a new bot cast), but going by how Bay has treated the characters in the first three films... there is no answer.
Maybe if Bob Iger finalizes that rumored deal for Hasbro, Disney (or Pixar) will reboot the franchise? Cliffjumper McQueen.

Even before blueberry season had arrived, Facebook fans were asking when picking season would begin.
"I really feel good about where we started," Brooke says. "With social media, like anything else, it takes time to get a following. Once people come out here, hopefully it will grow at even a quicker rate than it has."
Just before opening weekend in early-April, Brooke boosted a Facebook post for only a few dollars. Boosting a post is a form of informal advertising on Facebook.
Not only did it go to the farms' 500-plus Facebook fans, but it also went to all of their friends. Within 24 hours, more than 22,000 people had seen the post, Michael says.
Brooke also listed the operation on several free Internet U-pick directories, such www.pickyourown.org or one hosted by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Opening weekend drew more than 1,000 visitors, exceeding the Hills' expectations, and they sold out of large-sized t-shirts.
Several people blogged or posted about their wonderful experiences, and a few even brought their families back for a second day of fun

OH MAN. LFD, eh?
Which model? How much? What else did you try first?
Someone over at SH suggested LFD to me for the HL5 as well.
OH MAN. LFD, eh?
Which model? How much? What else did you try first?
Someone over at SH suggested LFD to me for the HL5 as well.
Some gear:
K701 - DT880 - RP-DH1200 - Superlux HD668b - SR325is - D2000 - HD669
Matrix M-Stage - V-DAC II - DT880 - K701 - Vintage Technics SU-Z45
PS: The K701 have a band mod, it has k601's one.
Great pick. I'll be auditioning LFD for sure once the time comes to get either the CS600 or something else.
Didn't really consider it with the current rig because the Leben sounded instantly good to me and I just wanted it.
EDIT: And they have kick ass phono stages, too.
Gorgeous. I'm surprised by how many people are content with the HD 650. I totally need to audition them at some point. They may just very well be perfect for me.
Looks great, Thaddy.
I don't think the majority of your tracks would shine on any DAC. Lotsa dubstep/EDM stuff there. Will likely need some reference tracks to tell the difference. Then again, if dubstep is the majority of your listening, a decent headphone out of a Macbook Pro would do just fine too (which is how I listen to the stuff at work).
At home, it's a different set of albums/tracks that I wind down with and definitely can tell the differences between playing on a low/mid-end DAC vs a higher end. Obviously the law of diminishing returns come into play in the high-end audio industry, but there are obvious differences.
Lovely! Is that a power conditioner next to the DLIII?
I have no desire to keep searching after getting the WA2 and a stash of nice tubes. I've been listening to the HD650's for about 7 years and the WA2 squeezed everything I could ask for out of the HD650's. I'd like to get set of HD600's in the future, but otherwise, the WA2 and HD650's are it for me.
Yup, that's the PS Audio UPC 200 power conditioner.
Also, the cable is a Moon Audio Blue Dragon. Pretty decent cable, but not worth the price unless you can find one used. Stick with the stock HD650 cable, it isn't microphonic, is very durable, and doesn't have any major sonic issues.
I know that I could get them as wavs or aiffs on Beatport, but out of curiosity, where did you get the Dillon Francis flacs?

With Valentines Day falling on a Thursday this year some folks will wait until the weekend to celebrate at a local area restaurant. However, if you really want to start the celebration on Thursday with something full flavored, comforting and easy to make give this roasted cauliflower and chorizo soup a whirl.
Roasting the cauliflower will start this soup off right and give it the extra flavor needed for this special day. Good Spanish chorizo supplies a rustic taste by rendering the sausage of all its natural flavor to balance the soup out to perfection.
So here is to all of you foodies who are willing to go the extra mile and make something from scratch for the one you love. Cheers!
